Cultural History

Interpreting Experience

Appropriate courses will explore our understanding of self in relation to the arts, morality, nature, culture, society, reason or science, and may be drawn from either philosophy or literature or a course that integrates both. Courses used to satisfy credit in Cultural History and Interpretive Experience may not count for credit in both areas.
